So back to the week passed. A busy week. Alex had a maths exam on the Wednesday and Physics and Biology on the Monday. I revised the sciences and his mother (a Maths Teacher) did maths. I believe the Monday Science exams went ok but maths had a few bits he wasn't sure of. I hope that the results are good!

Carmen was given honoured at a recent netball gathering in Sharnbrook. She received an award for The Best Player of the Year, The Most Sporting Player of the Year and a personal medal for a tournament her team won earlier. As Captain of the team, other parents were full of praise for her positive effect on their daughter. This from a player who was "not good enough" according to one of her coaches.

Gee whizz! What an amazing daughter you have. Apart from her sporting ability, her personality has clearly shone through on the sports field. And praise from other parents is praise indeed. Don't we all know that other parents normally reserve praise for their OWN children and not other peoples' children so she obviously makes an big impression on other parents too! You must be soooo proud of her. I've no doubt that her siblings have equal characters.

I hope 'that' coach has eaten her words about your daughter being 'not good enough'! A lesson to be learnt here!
